Description: The first edition of the Survey of India Karachi guide map. A highly detailed map on a scale of 3 inches to 1 mile. Produced during a period of rapid urban growth, this 1929 Karachi Guide Map was a detailed map showing the city?s expanding infrastructure and residential areas. The map captured the city's development into a cosmopolitan hub, with its road networks and key landmarks such as Frere Hall and the Empress Market. The distinction between the native quarters and the British cantonment area was clear, reflecting the colonial-era urban segregation. The map also highlights the growing importance of Karachi as a trade and military centre. It is an important document that reflects the city's growing infrastructure and the increasingly structured urban planning. The map shows the layout of Keamari, the Karachi Port Trust area, and the Clifton and Saddar districts, which were important residential and commercial zones. The JISC library hub reports no copies of this 1929 first edition being held by institutions in the UK.
